3 major takeaways from the Buffalo Bills 2017 NFL draft class

The 2017 NFL Draft has come and gone and for the Buffalo Bills, they’ve acquired considerable talent that should step into the lineup and make immediate contributions.

The Bills also addressed quite a few pressing needs across their roster. Buffalo addressed the loss of cornerback Stephon Gilmore with the selection of LSU’s Tre’Davious White. The Bills found an ideal compliment for their No. 1 wide receiver Sammy Watkins, taking East Carolina’s dynamic pass-catcher in Zay Jones.

Buffalo also found a potential replacement for right tackle Jordan Mills by trading up to snag Temple offensive lineman Dion Dawkins. Another position that needed reinforcement was at linebacker, and the Bills selected two in Boston College’s Matt Milano and Boise State’s Tanner Vallejo.

With Buffalo finding value and crossing a few important needs off their list with their draft choices, there appears to be a theme that came with each of their draft picks.

Here are three takeaways from the Bills’ 2017 NFL Draft class.
